Good evening . If you experiencing the problems of thinking you are gaining weight and you want to lose by purging, i think you are having the bulimia symptoms again. Bulimia symptoms are mostly with binge eating, but at the same time they are concerned regarding weight gain,. So they tend to either vomit it out or take laxatives in high dose to remove it through the stools. Leg aches can be due to deficiency of potassium which a person loses in vomiting. Also it can occur due to deficiency of certain nutrients like vitamin D. Hope the information was useful.
